Over A Guy? Taiwan Woman Kills Herself On Facebook After Her Boyfriend Failed To Come Home On Her Birthday!

" Police in Taiwan said Tuesday that a 31-year-old
woman has killed herself by inhaling poisonous
fumes while chatting with friends on Facebook and
that none of her friends alerted authorities.
Taipei police officer Hsieh Ku-ming said Claire
Lin killed herself on her birthday, March 18.
Hsieh said family members reported the suicide
soon after her death but were unaware of the
Facebook conversations that accompanied it.
Lin's last Facebook entries show her chatting with
nine friends, alerting them to her gradual
asphyxiation. One picture uploaded from her mobile
phone depicts a charcoal barbecue burning next to
two stuffed animals. Another shows the room filled
with fumes.
One friend identified as Chung Hsin, told Lin, "Be
calm, open the window, put out the charcoal fire,
please, I beg you."
Lin replied: "The fumes are suffocating. They fill
my eyes with tears. Don't write me anymore."
Her last words, in Chinese, were: "Too late. My
room is filled with fumes. I just posted another
picture. Even while I'm dying, I still want FB
(Facebook). Must be FB poison. Haha."
Lin's Facebook postings indicated she was unhappy
because her boyfriend was ignoring her, and had
failed to return home to be with her on her
birthday. It was her boyfriend who found her body
the following morning and alerted her family,
Hsieh said.
Hsieh said he regretted that none of her friends
called the police for help during the 67-minute
episode.
But he added that it could have been difficult for
them to pinpoint her whereabouts because of the
nature of social media.
"It could be true that it would be hard to track
down a Facebook friend without her address or
phone contact," Chen said.
Chai Ben-rei, a sociologist at Taiwan's Feng Chia
University, said the incident reflected social
isolation in the Internet age."- AP
